FOR AN EMERGENCY.
A Plan to Make Sure of Water
When Necessary.

City Engineer Rinker, at the council
meeting yesterday, presented a commu-
nication in which he advocated the plan
of placing the old Holly pumps in the
Smith & Richardson million Eighteenth
avenue north, and connecting the pipes
with the regular water mains, so that
in case of an emergency an adequate
supply of water could be obtained. A
discussion followed, in which it was
stated that the total cost of putting in
the pumps would not exceed, $1,000.
The committee on water works was au-
thorized to look into the matter and re-
port before the adjournment of the
council. The committee reported by
making a motion to the effect that a re-
serve pumping station be put in at the
Smith d Richardson mill, which was
unanimously adopted.

curious Hrsterical Epidemic.

A curious outbreak of convulsionist
mania, analogous to those which occurred
from time to time during the middle
ages, has shown itself at Agosta, IN the
province of Rome.
For some weeks past the country peo-
pie have been laboring under the delusion
that the district is under the immediate
government of the evil one, and before
retiring to rest they carefully place ON
the threshold the broom and the salt,
which are credited with the power of
keeping off evil spirits. Many of the
younger women have epileptiform at
tacks, during which they utter piercing
shrieks and are violently convulsed. So
serious had the condition of things be-
come that the syndic of Agosta found ii
necessary to inform the project, who sent
detachments of soldiers into the district
in order to calm the apprehensions of the
inhabitants.
AS natural consequence of this con-
dition of mental perturbation the coun-
try is overrun with quacks, who claim to
possess the only infallible remedy for the
seizures. One of these nostrums, the
vender of which was making rich har-
vest from its sale, was found on analysis
to consist of earth, snuff and borax.
Three medical men who were commits
stoned to investigate the cause and nature
! of this extraordinary affection came to
the conclusion that it was an epidemic Of
hysteria.
They examined a number of the suffer
ers, mostly young women, some of whom
were alleged to have vomited nails
horseshoes and other equally indigestiblt
| substances, while others barked like dogs
Several of them were removed to Rome

In milder degree this contagious form
of hysteria is not infrequent, especially
| in places where ignorance and supersti
| ton favor manifestations of nervous dis
| order. The worst excuses of populA
| outbreaks, like the French revolution
| have been attributed to similar influences

Mrs. Leland Stanford. Charity.

The other day a lady visited the
Women's and Children's hospital in San
Francisco, and was, says The Alta, par
ticularly affected at the sight of the many
little children, whose wan faces and dis
torted forms told of intense bodily an
guish. The sight of one little fellow,
whose sufferings are of peculiarly har-
rowing nature and whose patience is the
wonder of all who see him, so affected
this kind hearted lady that the tears
flowed fast as she bent over his tiny crib.
The attendants of the hospital were I'M
aware of the identity of the lady until
she registered just before her departure
as Mrs. Leland Stanford. Next day the
childrens ward was thrown into wild
excitement and joy by the receipt of. an
immense package of toys. The mana
gers of the hospital were not forgotten,
for to them Mrs. Stanford sent a check
for 81, 900, which was doubly acceptable,
for it came at a time when the funds
were much depleted.-New York Tri-

Tar Heel Squirrels.

A farmer named Corner, of Roane
county, w. W., has invented a new plan
to catch squirrels, which has proven a
great success. He has a large corn field,
which borders ON the woods, and which
the squirrels have almost devastated dur
ing the past season. Having hit upon a
plan, he first watched the animals, and
found that when they had made raid
and retired they retreated TO the woods
almost invariably along one particular
line of fence. Having learned this fact,
Corner covered the top rails of that line
of fence with tar, putting on heavy
coat. This he did in the evening, and in
the morning when he went to the field
he saw a long line of squirrels running
along the fence toward the woods. They
succeeded in clearing the fence, but when
they struck the woods the leaves and
sticks stuck to their feet SO badly that
they could not climb the trees nor run
very far even on the leaves. The first
capture amounted to twenty seven squir-
rels. and within week Corner had
killed and captured over 100 squirrels by
his UNIQUE device. Christian Advocate.

One of the most remarkable instances
Of physical training that ever knew oc-
CURED in Pike county. There was .
farmer who was q friend of mine near
Hollonville, who owned q very fine COW
which had most promising heifer calf.
The COW died while the calf was very
young, and the calf, as the saying goes,
had to be raised by hand, and OF course
as the farmers wife ''took q hand In
its nurture and admonition, when the
heifer grew TO maturity ''she was
daisy But let me go back TO the sub
ject of physical training. While the
poor little orphan heifer was passing
through the first stages of grief for the
irreparable loss of her kind and tender
mother, she would seek sympathy from
every source, and early every morning
when my farmer friend would rise TO
feed his stock the little orphan would
meet him at the door as he came out and
rub up against him and hold up her little
black nose to be caressed, and the far
mer, touched by these demonstrations OF
affection and being a kind hearted
man, overfowed with sympathy for the
motherless calf, and with tears in his
eyes he took it up under his arm and car
RED it with him to the lot and fed the
stock, and then would carry the cali
back to the house.
In the meantime the farmer 8 wife hac
prepared food for the calf, and ther
would feed it. Every morning this was
repeated until it became a confirmed
habit of the farmer to carry the calf t.
| the lot and then back to the house to b
| fed, and it became a part of the calf Z
existence, and it would not eat at al
without this treatment. And thus i
went on; years passed, and the heifel
| grew to be large cow, weighing sOi
| pounds, and her growth was 50 gradua
that it was imperceptble to the farmer
as he had accustomed himself to carr,
the daily increasing weight. and it has
| never occurred to him that there was an.
more effort necessary to carry the full
| grown COW than there was to carry her
| little, motherless, orphan heifer. Yet
strange to say, that if the farmer wa
| called on to raise weight of 200 pound
he could not do it, but an 500 pound GOV
was an easy load, simply because hi

A new game called ringoal has come
into favor in England this summer, and
forms an addition to tennis at garden
parties and fashionable outdoor gather
ings. The game requires two goals il

The hoop is thrown to and fro between
the players, the thrower scoring one
point each time that he succeeds in send
ing the hoop past his opponent into the
goal. This the other player tries to pre-
vent by catching the hoop on one or both
of his sticks, and if he is successful he
throws it back at his opponent, in order

There's Something i'm that Boy.

A funny sight the other afternoon was
q little urchin about 10 years old, who,
having sold all his papers for the day,
took out of sachel swung across his
shoulders clean blue and white shirt,
which, after washing his face and hands
and drying them on the soiled shirt, he
proceeded to put on. Then he brushed
his trousers and boots, brushed his hair
with a brush carried IN the sachel, and,
having busted his hat and replaced it
upon his head, he really did look much
improved. Then he danced q hornpipe.
He next proceeded to dine on the curb
stone, spreading out thereon a piece OF
paper, two ham sandwiches, piece of
gingerbread and slice of watermelon.
After this fine repast he washed it down
with water from the Jerry McAuley
fountain. And then came, to me, the
most remarkable part Of the whole pro-
ceeding. He actually stopped down to
the lower basin, intended for dogs and
cats, and proceeded to wash the soiled
checked shirt he had previously worn. Il
was duly rinsed, wrung out and hung up
ON the iron railing surrounding the flower
garden to dry. All this time sat IN =
